What Is a Speed-Ramped Property Video?

A corridor opening into a living room — the kind of transition a speed ramp would move through. Editorial photograph, not a VideoMotion export.

In brief

A speed-ramped property video plays some segments slower and others faster. VideoMotion Studio proposes those speeds after analysing filmed footage. The pictures remain the frames you recorded.

Key takeaways

Ramps change time, not the rooms that exist on film.
Hero and detail segments stay slower than transitions.
Presets give a starting pace you can override.

The problem with raw walkthroughs

A continuous phone take includes doors, landings and pauses. Buyers need kitchens and living rooms more than those transitions. Changing speed by segment is a standard edit; VideoMotion recommends the segments so you are not setting every keyframe by hand.

What VideoMotion changes

After analysis, segments are typed as hero, detail, neutral or transition. Suggested speeds sit between 0.25× and 4×. Style presets apply a coherent set. You still decide whether a room should linger.

What a ramp is not

It is not a generated camera path and not image-to-video. If you only have stills, use ImageMotion. If you need a measured tour, film more rooms or use a 360 product.
